I have just written a package called choroplethrZip <https://github.com/arilamstein/choroplethrZip> which contains a shapefile and metadata on US Zip codes. It is currently hosted on github, has a tagged version number (v1.0.0) and passes R CMD check as verified by Travis. My plan is to use this in the next version of my package choroplethr...

...umentation brings up a good limitation of simply telling users to type "devtools::install_github()". Namely, what happens when the census bureau updates their shapefiles, and I subsequently decide to update the package? Or if I discover an error in the package and decide to update it? The choroplethr package could have a dependency, and it's not clear how to make that dependency explicit to the user.

Hola! Quiero empezar a georeferenciar en mapas con R. En blogs se encuentra bastante información pero veo que no hay unanimidad respecto a las librerías a utilizar ni tampoco la información es muy clara ni abarcativa. ¿Alguno/a trabaja con mapas en R y me puede indicar por donde encarar? En principio mi interés es realizar mapas sencillos con información por provincias y departamentos de

In writing drat, and talking to R users about it, I surprisingly often find many (advanced) R users who seem to not use update.packages() at all. R itself has your problem so...

Hi Dirk, I'm interested in pursing this but I haven't been able to figure how to to make it work. Here's what I have so far: install.packages("drat") library(drat) addRepo("arilamstein") I (obviously) have a copy of the choroplethrZip github repo locally. I typed: git checkout gh-pages git push I gather that this is what I needed to to do make the repo web-accessible. Although I found this step a bit confusing because it looks like github has a pages feature for both accounts and projects. And now the instructions say to t...
